CATALOGUE 


FOREWORD 


E are offering to the American public a collection formed by 

a true lover of art, who has devoted thirty years of his lite 

to the study of the beautiful, and to the acquisition of works 
in which he perceived real artistic worth. His collection is not 
an assemblage of decorative objects amassed for the purpose of 
ostentation. None but the highest aesthetic quality has satisfied his 
taste, regardless of all subsidiary attractions. The knowledge which 
he has accumulated in the course of his travels would seem to be almost 
unbounded. Opportunities, in the countries in which he dwelt, were 
numerous, in the days when the greater part of this collection was 
formed: and the result may be judged by all connoisseurs. ‘Mieco 
lector is a man who professes that all art is akin, and ruled by the same 
rhythms and feeling. Beginning with the Assyrian, Egyptian, and 
archaic Greek epochs, he carries us down to the French X VII Ith cen- 
tury; and we are aware that he goes farther still, not stopping even 
at the boldest manifestations of latter-day art. These last, however, 
are not included in the present sale, which we are glad to have per- 
suaded him to make over on this side of the water. We are certain 
that we have brought to our country many treasures, of which in the 
ordinary course of events it might have been deprived. Thanks in part 
to his remarkable discernment, and in part also, no doubt, to sheer 
good luck, Mr. Alphonse Kann has, as is well known, discovered cer- 
tain masterpieces admittedly unique in the world; we are proud to 
offer them to the competition of our countrymen. 

We should take up too much space were we to attempt to describe, 
or even to mention, each of the most important objects comprised in 
this collection of over six hundred numbers; yet some among these 
works of art are of such primary importance that we feel compelled 
to accord them at least a passing notice. Looking through the cata- 
logue, we are attracted first by a series of drawings, principally of the 
XVIth and XVIIth centuries, some of them of unexcelled quality. It 
is in the French school of the Renaissance that this part oi the collec 
tion is richest; there are, notably, two works by that realistic and mas- 
terly portraitist, Lagneau, [Nos. 7 and 8], so characterful that even 
today we seem to find ourselves face to face with people we have 
actually known; the portrait of the elderly lady, especially, is a master- 
piece. There are not so many examples of the Flemish school, but 
there is a composition by Rubens for the splendid ceiling of Whitehall, 


which exhibits all the genius and powerful swing of that great painter. 
The Dutch school is well represented by van der Cappelle, a harbour 
with ships [No. 2], of the most delicate feeling; and also by a van der 
Heyden [No. 6], a master whose drawings are singularly scarce, this 
being moreover a signed piece. 

The paintings are—apart from their quality—of the greatest 
variety, including examples of almost every school. The Italian 
primitives form an impressive contingent, among which we cannot 
leave without notice the two important wings of a triptych by Bice 
di Lorenzo [ Nos. 41 and 42], the best pupil of Lorenzo Monaco; these 
panels have come down to us in their original state, their gold back- 
grounds well preserved, and their colours unaltered by even the slight- 
est coat of varnish. In composition too they are most graceful, and the 
colour scheme is tenderly harmonious. Following the order of the cata- 
logue, but not of chronology, we come next [No. 45] to an unfortu- 
nately incomplete composition by that great and rare master, Cimabue ; 
and here too the state of preservation of the painting is extraordinary. 
The face seems to have lost none of its first virginal bloom; again 
thanks, no doubt, to its never having known any taint of varnish. Of 
Domenico Morone da Verona, we have one of those strong composi- 
tions which so often remind good judges of Carpaccio or Pisanello. 
And before abandoning, for want of space, the section of Italian prim- 
itives, we are bound to mention a most attractive portrait of a noble 
young Florentine, by Antonio Pollaiuolo. The drawing of the mouth 
is treated with a fine accuracy worthy of Antonello da Messina, while 
the expression of the eyes and the pose of the head are full of dis- 
tinction. 


The XVIth century Venetian school is represented by a striking 
painting by Tintoretto, an artist who stands now higher than any of 
his contemporaries in the eyes of art-lovers. This important work, 
“Christ in the Garden of Olives,” can, we believe, be rivalled by few 
among the well-known works of Robusti hanging in museums. The 
composition is typical of the master, proceeding diagonally from the 
left-hand bottom corner to the upper right-hand part of the canvas; 
the figures in the light are thrown upon a dark background, those in 
the shade appear against the light. The head of the sleeping apostle 
is treated in the style of the finest portraits of the late period; the 
figure of the kneeling Christ is truly divine in its grace; and the 
ethereal form of the angel is well worthy of the most remarkable 


pieces of colouring produced by a school renowned above all for its 
colour. 


Proceeding to the early Flemish school, particular stress must be 
laid upon the important composition by Brueghel the Elder, as well 
as upon the whole series of primitives, here of exceptional quality. 
One of the earliest productions of the northern school, the Rhenish 
Crucifixion [No. 58] which bears the date 1212, will certainly attract 
considerable attention. Though slightly damaged in parts, it is hap- 
pily free from retouching, and so is able to move us by the deep re- 
ligious sentiment emanating from this very early conception of the 
scene. We are stirred too, though in a totally different way, by the 
graceful composition representing the Birth of the Virgin Mary, be- 
longing to the School of Avignon (RNonsa/de 

Among the Dutch paintings, there is a portrait | No. 63| by that 
most promising of all the pupils of Rembrandt, Karl Fabricius; we 
consider it one of the finest examples of the work of this artists n= 
fortunately so short-lived ; and should it be finally ascertained that it is, 
as it is assumed to be, his own portrait, then greater interest still 
would be added to a marvellous piece of painting. 

We must content ourselves with a reference to only one more 
painting—a small canvas by Turner [No. 60], painted in a harmony 
of pinks and blues, set off by strokes of sepia of the boldest drawing. 

Among the objects of art, which form no doubt the most impor- 
tant part of the sale, we can call attention here only to a few quite ex- 
ceptional masterpieces, though almost every item is well worthy of 
separate notice. In the department of Egyptian sculpture, a series of 
admirable bas-reliefs, chosen with the utmost discrimination, leads up 
to a culminating point in that stupendous stone head of the XVIIIth 
dynasty [No. 42], of indescribable expression, which has been con- 
sidered by many connoisseurs to be the gem of the collection. Jie 
Egyptian bronzes, though not numerous, will be found to be of unusual 
quality. Then comes an Assyrian slab [No. 56] of astonishing force 
and beauty. The Greek contingent follows, which is of primary im- 
portance. There is an archaic marble head of wonderful style [No. 
63], the traces of the earth in which it was embedded forming now 
part of its beautiful substance. The colossal white marble head of 
Artemis [No. 65] is an equally fine work of its period; while as for 
the torso of an ephebus [ No. 64], there are few pieces anywhere which 
can challenge comparison with this. The Greek bronzes, again, are 
of rare importance: the series of archaic bronzes is unrivalled outside 
the chief museums, and there are first-rate specimens of the classic 
period, such as the Diogenes [No. 87], and the seated Gryphon [No. 
88], which latter fetched a sensational price in a Paris sale. 


Coming down to the Gothic period, we are pleased to notice that 
nearly all the pieces are unrestored ; a condition which adds greatly to 
their charm, particularly when one is aware how much remodelling 
and repairs have done to deteriorate works of this epoch. We find 
in this section not only large pieces of sculpture, but also some pre- 
cious smaller carvings of extraordinary perfection, such as the two 
boxwood Virgins [Nos. 136 and 137], the rivals of which we cannot 
recollect having seen. 

The Renaissance epoch is represented by, if anything, still more 
important examples of the work of the most reputed masters. Let us 
mention only a wooden polychrome bust of Christ, by Matteo Civitale ; 
a splendid marble Virgin and Child, by Amadeo, with all the old poly- 
chrome which most marbles have lost;.a head of St. John the Baptist, 
probably by Verrocchio—a work of intense expression; the angels’ 
heads and wings, part of an altar by Rossellino, which, though no 
more than a fragment, is so subtle in its modelling, so charming in 
composition, that it seems a perfect object of art. Another piece of 
the altar [No. 156] is in the Metropolitan Museum. The little box- 
wood seated Christ, by Vecchietta, finally, [No. 152], will appeal to 
the severest critic. 

Closely connected with these works 1s the series of Italian bronzes, 
mostly of the Quattrocento, selected for their perfection of casting and 
primitive character. Needless to say, these have become now ex- 
tremely rare. The Atlas by Bellano published in Dr. Bode’s work 
[No. 360] is a justly celebrated piece, and there are numerous others, 
not to speak of fine examples of rare medals and plaquettes. 

Perhaps one of the most astounding categories of this encyclo- 
paedia of art is the Oriental pottery department. It consists of pieces 
collected at a time when this earthenware was practically unknown, 
and when art lovers could say nothing of the specimens which, coming 
from the East at intervals, appeared on the market, except that they 
knew no other pottery to compare with them. The collection is equally 
rich in early ‘Geubri,’ Rakka, Rhages, Sultanabad, and Syrian pieces, 
and contains a great many unique specimens. Another series rarely 
met with in any collection is that of inlaid Oriental bronzes, and in 
particular those early examples from the Hamadan excavations. We 
doubt whether even museums have as yet been able to secure any of 
this ware, which unquestionably supersedes the Mossoul bronzes in 
perfection. 

The series of Italian majolicas consists principally of jars and 
plates of the earliest type; but we must note an extremely rare and 


beautiful plaque [No. 392], the equal of which, we can safely say, 
is to be seen nowhere. Among the Hispano-Moresque pottery will be 
found a XVth century plate [No. 425] of unusual beauty. 

An interesting section is that of the champlevé enamels, which 
include some remarkable reliquaries; the Virgin seated on the throne 
is perhaps the best we know of that family. The early ivories, too, 
should attract attention; in their number may be included a fine As- 
syrian bone bas-relief, representing a king. Then there is a superb 
Rhenish IXth century plaque [No. 447], the like of which must be 
sought for in the Cabinet des Médailles of the Bibliotheque Nationale. 
Among the gems, we must mention the Sassanian silver vase [ No. 
483], an incomparable treasure. 

A single tapestry is included, a Gothic example, and of particular 
charm of colour and composition. There are Ispahan rugs and frag- 
ments too varied in colour and style to be described. Suffice it to say 
that among their number is a prayer rug, one of a celebrated palieatue 
other having been catalogued in the imperial set at Schonbrunn ; and 
also a garden carpet eloquent of Persian poetry. 

The collection is completed by several magnificent pieces of Gothic 
and Renaissance furniture, paramount in interest, though few in 
number. 

The attributions and catalogue descriptions have been written under 
the personal supervision of Mr. Ercole Canessa, expert, 680 Fifth 
Avenue, New York.
